Obtaining and installing the software license
The TV80 system needs a software license to receive data from gear monitoring sensors. Each software license “unlocks” a set of functionalities. Without a valid license, your TV80 system will not show real time data from the gear monitoring sensors.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that the TV80 operational software has been successfully installed on the computer.
Context
The software license is linked to the physical computer. You cannot move the TV80 system software from one computer to another unless you also request and install a new license.
In order to obtain a software license you must contact one of our dealers or distributors. You can also use the request form on our website, or contact our support department directly.
Note
Once you receive your software license string, do not lose it. We suggest that you copy the information into a text file (for example Notepad), and add relevant information. Place the text file on the computer desktop, and make sure that backup copies are made.
Note
The licensing system may experience trouble or stop working if you add additional LAN ports to your computer. Additional LAN ports will be created when you connect external devices such as mobile phones or LAN port adapters to your computer.
Procedure
1 Select the Setup icon to open the menu.

3 Use the Copy button to help you copying some information you need to request a new license or an upgrade of the current active license.
4 Send the information to one of our dealers or distributors.
Your dealer will need the following information from you to place the order:
•  Hardware ID
•  Vessel name and call sign
•  Vessel type (trawler, purse seiner, etc.)
•  Vessel owner's name, address and contact information
•  The relevant name of the Software upgrade you want to install.
You can also use the request form on our website, or contact our support department directly. You can use the following e-mail address:
Once the software license string(s) have been returned to you (most likely by e-mail), you can install the licenses into the software.
5 Select the Setup tab to open the menu.
6 Select the Software License button to open the dialog box.
7 Select Type License String, and type the license string into the dialog box.
If you do not have a computer keyboard connected to your TV80 system, select the Keyboard button to open an on-screen keyboard. If you have received the license string on an electronic format (e-mail or text file), you can copy the string from the source document and paste it into the Type License String dialog box.
8 Select OK to save the license string and close the Type License String dialog box.
9 Verify that the license string is placed in the Currently active licenses list.
10 Select OK to close the dialog box.
